If you are using Wine then you can use the CHM viewer it comes with.

It needs the windows version of gecko installed which you can install using Wine Tricks.

Code: Select all

wine hh /path/to/chm/file.chm
You can't run it with out a file for it to load. I good idea is to set wine with this "hh" parameter as your chm viewer.

What you should end up with in "/root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/MIME-types/application_x-chm" is:

Code: Select all

#! /bin/sh
exec wine hh "$1"

Have you tried using the chmsee package from Puppy 4.x?
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributio ... .0.0-1.pet
Or do you want to try the latest version?
Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here

I have wine but preferred not to install the gecko html renderer.

For CHM viewing I use kchmviewer version 3.1, which is very fast and works well under puppy provided the QuickTime libraries, eg
libqt-mt.so.3.3.8 are also installed.

Is there an error message when you try to start it from the terminal? Or has this already been discussed elsewhere?

What? Quick Time? what does that have to do with a chm viewer? You probably mean QT: Qt - A cross-platform application and UI framework.
